Public bug reported: Binary package hint: sysklogd
sysklogd should really use logrotate. syslogd-listfiles is an inflexible way to select specific logs and apply different options to them. It doesn't support monthly rotation at all. There is no configuration file for syslogd-listfiles which means you have to change /etc/cron.*/sysklogd or even the perl script itself. You then have to deal with merging changes when sysklogd is upgraded. There have been proposals in Debian to either fix syslogd-listfiles (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=104278) or switch to logrotate (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=44523) but neither have gone anywhere in some time. ** Affects: sysklogd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- sysklogd doesn't use logrotate https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255226 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
